The June 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro, also known as Rio+20, brought together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to build upon the commitments made 20 years ago when world leaders gathered to stimulate political will toward sustainable development at the first Earth Summit, held in Rio in 1992. Rio+20 resulted in the outcome document “The Future We Want,” which laid out a number of negotiated commitments intended to spur action toward sustainable development. In addition, the Rio Summit mobilised more than 700 voluntary commitments with an estimated valuation in excess of USD$500 billion. Stakeholder Forum and the Natural Resources Defense Council have jointly conducted an initial review of the progress made on key negotiated and voluntary commitments made at Rio+20.
